There are multiple secret beaches on Oahu. Actually, there are multiple secret beaches just within the resort area of Ko Olina. None of them are secrets anymore.

There was a sign on the front window advertising milk foot water, free snacks, and hot tea. I had no idea what “milk foot water” was, but I was intrigued.
